yes. it also mushes the food into a ball, with the help of your tongue, and covers it to make it slide easier down the esophagus. the ball of food is called a bolus.
Saliva.
Makes food easier to eat!
the food we eat soften because of the saliva
Breaks down the food
Because the food that they eat are not cooked
it's forms the food into Bolus which is then swallowed
You can eat dry bread or crackers.
The watery liquid that begins the chemical breakdown of food is saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that help break down carbohydrates in the food we eat, making it easier for the body to digest.
Dogs, like other mammals, eat their food by masticating (chewing) their food with their jaws and teeth. The linings of their mouth excrete saliva which mixes with the food and makes swallowing possible.
You are saliva. Saliva contains digestive enzymes that help break down food into smaller molecules that can be easily absorbed by the body.
Saliva is usually basic, and when we eat something acidic it neutralizes it and is the first thing that starts to break down the food. Anything we eat or drink saliva is make it basic. (i think most of our food that we eat or drink is acidic). HOPE THIS HELPED :)
